Freezing Temperature Operation
IMPORTANT: If operating the boat during periods of freezing

Drain Plug and Bilge Pump
The engine compartment in your boat is a natural place for water to
collect. For this reason, boats are normally equipped with a drain plug
and/or a bilge pump. It is very important to check these items on a regular
basis to ensure that the water level does not rise to come in contact with
your power package. Engine components will be damaged if submerged.
Damage caused by submersion is not covered by the Mercury Racing
Limited Warranty.
